Web Design Portfolio :: Sure Fire Web Design
Sutera Medical SpaOne of my best projects to date. The site has special typography that makes it possible to have beautiful cursive fonts on the web pages that are visible to everyone on the web regardless of what browser they use. But at the same time, the site is indexed just the same in the search engines. Since Google and Yahoo can't "read" images, just replacing words with text is normally a big no-no when it comes to "search engine optimization" but I got around it using some tricks I've picked up over the years. The backend admin section is first class and gives Andres, the owner of Sutera Medical Spa, plenty of power and flexibility without requiring him to know anything about creating a website, html, or (heaven forbid) CSS. But enough about what I think... you should hear him rave about my work:
Jones CollegeWhen the in house technology wizard was assigned to remake the Jones College website, they put the project out to bid. Jim and I hit it off right away when I started explaining how easy it would be to manage the website and that anyone with enough skill to send an email could add content to the Jones College website. The decision makers at Jones College had one goal: complete simplicity. Easy to understand, easy to read, easy to navigate. Period. What's more is that their website runs on extremely lean XHTML code which means the pages just pop onto your screen in an instant. No waiting. Plus, there's great separation between style and content, which will make updating the design of the website a snap. I'm proud to have been chosen to be the only website designer to remake the website of Jones College.
PayformanceI cannot take credit for their beautiful website. Even though it could be improved upon their website is much better than most websites I've seen lately. What I can take credit for is helping the Vice President of Marketing for the company to create an email template that will be used in most of the email campaigns they will run in 2005. Not only did I create a template that gives them the flexibility to modify themes very easily, but I also improved their sales message and gave them specific strategies that will help them track their results. Return on investment is the single most important concept in any marketing campaign. If you aren't measuring it or you're not happy with your current ROI then you should give me a shout.
Episcopal High SchoolDiane Tabbot looks to me as her personal computer savior when she needs help on the website (or anything computer related) at the prestigious Jacksonville private school. The website was created by another company but she's thrown away their phone number and only calls me when she needs help with the website. I recently added a very simple ( simple by request) online catalog for school apparel sold through their bookstore.
NephariusRyan was on his way to building a site that would grow very, very rapidly and eventually have thousands of pages. Most of this content would be contributed by a handful of experts that write tutorials on photoshop techniques. The only way that Ryan would be able to manage this project would be to have a well written database program that would handle all the administrative functions and also make it very easy for visitors to the site to search for whatever they needed. I think Ryan's biggest surprise was the administrative control panel that I created for him. He was thrilled to see how easy it is to manage his rapidly growing website. I also gave him some code that will make it possible to change the entire look of the site by modifying just two files... even if the site grows to several thousand pages.
Quartermaster DepotHave you ever seen a Civil War reenactment and wondered where all those great costumes came from? I got a chance to find out when I was hired by Daniel Manufacturing to create a website to sell his handmade creations online. A tremendous amount of detail went into creating the online store. First, there's the beautiful typography you see on each page that really makes the website stand out from the pack. Then there's the incredible array of colors, sizes, and materials that can be chosen when making a purchase. Putting so many options into a store with so many products is not easy. To deliver more than was asked of me, I even set up the PayPal account for Daniel and got it working with his store so that he can now take orders 24x7.
HundekonzepteI was contacted by Frank Walle of German based company, friends4.net, to jazz up an all important contact form on a website he was hired to create. He was already using my Ultimate FormMail software to process the data, but he needed extensive javascript code written to perform complicated calculations. To make matters more difficult, all of my calculations had to be formatted to display financial results in European notation: with commas and periods exactly opposite of how we use them in the United States. $1,000.00 would need to be 1.000,00 Every line of code was custom written from the ground up. Since the form had to handle a wide variety of options, some of the calculations were especially intricate. Frank was up against a tight deadline but he knew I could deliver on time. Using a combination of javascript, php, and cascading style sheets, Frank's client now has a fully functional, dynamic form that does more than he ever expected.

Well my site has become a "Surefire"
winner. The site was up 2 weeks, we did no (print) advertising at all.
Last Tuesday the phone started ringing. We got 8 calls in one day, all
referencing the site. Two of the calls resulted in the sale of 8 containers
for $8500. I may need to buy more inventory. -John Allen |

to get calls from other VP’s and CEO’s complementing the professionalism
and “eye catching” quality. More impressive is your willingness
to assist us with all our technological needs without concern for compensation…a
very rare trait in corporate America. Your prompt follow-up, kindness and
knowledge are a breath of fresh air and have been vital to our continuing
success in the music industry. As a retired Navy Captain with 28 years of service and former Executive Assistant to one of President Clinton’s Cabinet members, I can say without reservation, this is the finest IT program I’ve witnessed.
